And in this vast country, cut by rivers that until recently were undeniably mighty, without any records, also until recently, with climatic disasters actually deserving their names - earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis and all the retinue of other scourges that do not spare other parts of the planet. Tiradentes thought, according to the Autos da Devassa da Inconfidência Mineira, that the country flourished and could be great in every way, if it were not for the Portuguese carrying all that wealth to the other side of the Atlantic, sucking out what was produced here, like perverse sponges. In the painful process of the emergence of a nation where before there had been political subjection, economic dependence, captive labour and immeasurable expanses of land, Brazilians have become accustomed to blaming the Portuguese. What Tiradentes and others like him did is understandable: they played their part in their time, which was revolutionary and, soon after, there were nationalisms everywhere, with the crumbling old structures, as Alexis de Tocqueville had seen; Portuguese possessions in America earning a figure impossible to equate with the rickety shadow of their old European Dad, a long time bogged down in an apparent cul-de- sac. That this would continue relentlessly, driving the same argument – and with less than fifteen years from celebrating two centuries of independence – this, however, deserves greater reflection.T he delay? Portugal’s fault, the edge of Europe always about to plummet into the abyss. Slavery? Portugal’s fault, which reinvented and worsened it during the time of the discoveries. If Antarctic France had remained in Guanabara Bay, during the Villegagnon period; had the United Provinces of the Netherlands - as the Netherlands today was then called – placed its foot in Pernambuco even after the departure of Mauríce of Nassau, or had, who knows, Britain in retaliation occupied the Brazilian coast if Dom João had not changed Lisbon for Rio, everything would certainly have been different. 10 | Márcia Maria Menendes Motta As nothing like this happened, and it is no more than material for novels or lucubration against reality, the historical evidence should be examined in order to make some progress in the understanding of our misfortune. To do so, Right to land in Brazil: the Gestation of the Conflict, by Márcia Maria Menendes Motta, provides the best ammunition. In her doctoral thesis, published in 1998, the author had already given scholarly attention to the land problem in Brazil. Issues relating to the social and political conflicts associated with the possession and ownership of land were dealt with on the frontiers of power in the former province of Rio de Janeiro, more specifically in Paraíba do Sul, and this was a work by a meticulous researcher who did not shy away from the thorny debates within the subject matter. There, her time period was the nineteenth century, when the empire skated across the land and labour problem, located among liberal and conservative precepts - which, as we know, have not always followed the original European ideology, by changing the order of factors and, in defiance of arithmetic, shuffling items around.T his was a more precise and vertically oriented approach. Nine years later, obstinate, like every historian worthy of the name, once more breaking in to the past to better understand - and support - the present, Márcia Motta brings to the public research into the genealogy, or the possible genealogies, of the terrible problem of land that plagues the country. The period covered is long, five centuries, but intersected by very specific conjunctures, which act as incisions on the same fabric and which leave marks: from the time of King Fernando, in 1375, to the time of the deputies of the Portuguese Cortes and independence, between 1820 and 1824, the sesmarias law and the regulation of land were perpetuated despite rereadings, additions, alterations and reinterpretations. Through extracts, the author introduces us to the agents of these cleavages, men who suggested changes in the law - such as Domingos Vandelli, Mello Freire, Francisco Mauricio de Sousa Coutinho, and José Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva - and the men who manipulated it, accumulating possession and properties followed by their battles to legalise it, such as Inácio Correia Pamplona and Garcia Paes Leme. The heart of the problem lies in the wide range of conceptions and definitions that, over the centuries, have sought to explain the phenomenon of the sesmarias. Strictly speaking the sesmarias were initially conceived of as portions of land donated by the Crown in order to boost agriculture in a Portugal, and throughout the West, lashed by the crisis of the fourteenth century. They had to be cultivated, otherwise the relevant authorities could redistribute them to those who used them properly. The kingdom was small, Right to land in Brazil | 11 the land well known and trodden, the geographical boundaries well defined: in the American conquest, everything was immense and unknown with fluid or open boundaries, so everything changed. Soon the sesmarias, or rather the possession of them, were concentrated in a few hands, distorting the old sense of the law. However, to complicate things, and because the size of the land granted varied over time and, above all, was geographically varied, there was smallholders who, in the same way, possessed sesmarias, facing up to the larger owners, but also, like them, chasing recognition of their possessions, by sending papers accumulated by generations of farmers to the Overseas Council in Lisbon. The sesmarias, therefore had a distinct meaning on one side of the Atlantic compared to the other, in the kingdom and the conquered land, in the metropolis and the American colony. In Portugal they imported much less than in Brazil, where, after being one of the vectors in the colonisation process, this is what remained in the genesis of the phenomenon of land injustice. Even so, independence ended up worsening the picture, with liberal ideals enshrining absolute private property and sweeping away the requirement to cultivate which, moreover, hardly applied in the Luso-American lands: its logic was another, referring to the communal traditions of the Middle Ages.

  • Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic
    Humans and Animals in the Norse North Atlantic Lara M. Hogg This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of History, Archaeology and Religion. Cardiff University. 2015 SUMMARY It is a well-established fact that all human societies have coexisted with and are dependent upon animals and it is increasingly recognized that the study of human-animal relationships provides vital insights into past human societies. Still this is yet to be widely embraced in archaeology. This thesis has examined human-animal interdependencies to explore the social identities and structure of society in the Norse North Atlantic. Benefitting from recent research advances in animal studies and the ever increasing volume of archaeological reports from Norse period archaeological excavations the North Atlantic this thesis was able to develop previous scholarship and define directions for future research. The thesis explored the role of animals in human society in the North Atlantic to reveal the complex Norse societies that existed. It revealed through human interdependencies with animals that these societies were far from homogeneous and had their own distinct identities with the individual islands as well as across the North Atlantic. The thesis achieved this by examining several important discrete but interlinked themes. These themes were divided into four chapters that focused on the individual aspects. This included an examination of previous North Atlantic Viking Age scholarship, consideration of human construction and perception of landscape through archaeological excavations, investigation of the role of domestic animals in human social activities, and an exploration of the role of domesticated animals in beliefs.

  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).

  • Nullity of Marriage: Jurisdiction, Choice of Law and Related Problems
    Nullity of Marriage: Jurisdiction, Choice of Law and Related Problems STUART RYAN Port Hope, Ontario Although a good deal has already been said about the' decision of the English Court of Appeal in De Reneville v. De Reneville,2 this, at least, may be added, that it raises more questions than it answers. Pace Mr. Chitty,3 it seems clear that the case may be cited confidently as an authority for one proposition only, namely that an English court would not entertain a petition for annul- ment of marriage, based on refusal to consummate or incapacity to consummate, where the respondent was neither resident nor domiciled in England and the marriage was celebrated elsewhere. One of the questions raised by that decision, whether celebra- tion of the marriage in England would enable an English court to entertain a petition to annul a marriage for the same grounds where the respondent was resident and domiciled out of England, was answered in the negative by the judgment of the same court, differently constituted, in Casey v. Casey,4 but that judgment in itself raises fresh questions, the answers to which must be found before the situation is really clear. Taken together, these two decisions appear to establish that the bases of jurisdiction to annul voidable marriages are not in all cases the same as where the court is called upon to annul a mar riage void ab initio. To this extent, the distinction made by Bate- son J. in Inverclydev. Inverclyde 5 appears to have been confirmed, but it is by no means settled that the only court having juris- 1 In the Canadian Bar Review alone, see Gilbert D.

  • The Concept of Family Farming in the Portuguese Political Discourse
    Article The Concept of Family Farming in the Portuguese Political Discourse Isabel Dinis 1,2 1 Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra, 3045-601 Coimbra, Portugal 2 CERNAS - Research Centre for Natural Resources, Environment and Society, 3045-601 Coimbra, Portugal; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 11 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: Although several countries have outlined national and multi-criteria definitions, family farming is not well defined in most countries including Portugal, making it difficult to assess its real importance as well as the reasons underlying the design and the success/failure of particular policies. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the framing of family farming in the Portuguese political discourse by applying content analysis to a range of national policies and planning documents. The results show little reference to family farming in political documents and a conceptualization of family farming made in antagonism to professional or entrepreneurial farmers. Keywords: family farming; content analysis; agricultural policy; rural 1. Introduction Following the adhesion of Portugal to the European Economic Community (EEC) in January 1986, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was adopted by the country, which led to profound socio-economic changes in Portuguese agriculture. Among other things, a large amount of structural funds was made available to support the modernization of agriculture, to promote structural adjustment and finally to transform small family farmers into entrepreneurs. Since its beginning, CAP was designed and developed to support family farmers, the dominant typology in most Member States. As pointed out by Davidova and Thomson (2014), the government created an infrastructure that allowed small family farms to capture organisational-scale effects, without losing their specific features.
